VOX ROX the Dictionary - A Spelling Bee for All Ages
Funds will help to provide creative after-school services for more than 300 Atlanta teenagers who come together from diverse backgrounds to create VOX, Atlanta's only city-wide teen-run media.
Contestants in this spelling bee will compete in teams and in individual rounds, narrowing down to one final winner. It’ll be part “March Madness,” part “Survivor,” and fully geek-chic.
Youth Communication is a non-profit youth-development agency whose mission is to raise youth voice – to help teens find and project their voices, and, by doing so, to fill an information void and engage youth as active builders of a stronger community.
The VOX program helps teen participants and readers make positive changes in their lives. “Reading the articles really inspired me to go on and do better things with my life besides drugs and alcohol and I realized that suicide was not the answer for me,” one reader recently wrote to VOX. ”Because of this I went on to graduate high school and I am now enrolled in the Art Institute of Atlanta. I have continued to read your news articles and they continue to inspire me. Thanks for all your help.”
YC also offers creative, hands-on learning opportunities for youth ages 13-19 through writing groups, a summer leadership program, and writing workshops for teens in schools and community youth groups. The YC Teen Newsroom, located in Downtown Atlanta near CNN Center, is open to youth six days per week.

Reuniões preparatórias da contra-conferência sobre a UNCTAD
Chamado para uma contra-conferência em São Paulo, dias 11 e 12 de junho (com uma pequena extensão no dia 13).
Entre os dias 13 e 18 de junho, centenas de altos funcionários e chefes de estado vão se reunir em São Paulo para discutir estratégias de desenvolvimento na Conferência das Nações Unidas para Comércio e
Desenvolvimento (UNCTAD). A UNCTAD é o órgão do sistema das Nações Unidas dedicado ao fomento do desenvolvimento e, recentemente, tem recebido muito apoio dos países pobres que vêem nele um organismo capaz de auxiliar no rompimento das barreiras comerciais dos países ricos e, assim, permitir o desenvolvimento por meio das exportações.
Boa parte da esquerda brasileira (inclusive o governo) tem apoiado essa estratégia desenvolvimentista como forma de superar nossos problemas sociais. Ao optar por essa estratégia, essa "esquerda" alinha-se com a
perspectiva liberal que sempre quis resolver as questões sociais por meio do crescimento, sem a distribuição da renda. Mas a perspectiva de esquerda não consiste em buscar resolver a situação específica desta pessoa pobre ou deste país subdesenvolvido, enriquecendo-o ou desenvolvendo-o, mas suprimir a distinção entre ricos e pobres, entre desenvolvidos e subdesenvolvidos.
Numa situação em que parte considerável do que se chamava de "esquerda" parece ter como únicos objetivos a redução dos juros e o fomento às exportações, é o momento de uma reflexão profunda sobre o que aconteceu
com a esquerda e como podemos retomar a perspectiva radical de justiça social e democracia direta. Por isso, chamamos as pessoas comprometidas com esses ideais para um encontro - uma verdadeira contra-conferência - onde discutiremos a situação atual da esquerda e as alternativas que podemos construir fora do estado e do mercado. A (contra-)conferência
acontecerá nos dias 11 e 12 de junho, em São Paulo e terá como eixos de discussão a ilusão desenvolvimentista e a necessidade de reinventar uma
esquerda radical. Após a conferência, no dia 13 de junho, os participantes serão convidados a dar as boas vindas à elite internacional reunida na conferência da UNCTAD.
Esperamos com essa pequena iniciativa dar início a uma detida reflexão e debate que inclua depois outros movimentos, coletivos e indivíduos.
Para se inscrever na contra-conferência, por favor cadastre-se no site www.unctad.net. A inscrição é necessária para podermos planejar a recepção dos participantes - sobretudo grupos grandes vindos de fora de São Paulo. Maiores informações, escreva para encontroautonomo-AT-riseup.net

Armes Contra la Guerra / Els efectes del urani 'empobrit'
Els propers 21 i 22 de maig es celebrarà una xarrada sota el títol "Armas Contra la Guerra", a càrreg d'Alfredo Embid, de la Asociación de Medicinas Complementarias, www.amcmh.org.
N'Alfredo ens parlarà dels efectes de l'ús d'armes amb urani
empobrit (i amb altres elements radiactius). Armes d'ús habitual a les guerres d'aquest segle i amb unes conseqüències que encara no hem acabat de conèixer, però que ja s'ens presenten terribles.
La contaminació provocada ens acabarà afectant a tots/es, els elements radiactius alliberats a terra i a l'atmosfera ens contaminaran internament i inevitablement durant els segles que tenen de vida.

LA CUP SOLIDÀRIA AMB L’ESQUERRA INDEPENDENTISTA BASCA
Davant la il·legalització de la candidatura de l’esquerra independentista basca, Herritarren Zerrenda, a les eleccions europees del 13 de juny, la Candidatura d’Unitat Popular (CUP) vol manifestar el següent:
- Un cop més s’ha demostrat que l’Estat espanyol no és pas un Estat de Dret i que el poder judicial és un apèndix de l’executiu.
- Per si algú en tenia cap dubte, ha quedat també palès que el PSOE i PP representen el mateix projecte polític, un projecte que es basa el manteniment de la submissió de les nacions oprimides per l'Estat espanyol, raó per la qual no ens ha d’estranyar que aquest Estat empri tots els mitjans que té al seu abast per impedir la lliure determinació d’aquestes nacions.
- Cal exigir més capacitat d’anàlisi i més convicció democràtica a les forces polítiques catalanes que van donar tan apressadament al PSOE la seva confiança. Vet aquí quin és el “nou tarannà” del PSOE (i què cal esperar-ne): la il·legalització d’una candidatura que compta amb un ampli suport popular.
- Ens reafirmem en la idea que els conflictes polítics només es poden abordar des del diàleg, la negociació política i el reconeixement explícit del dret a l’autodeterminació dels pobles.
- Aquesta escandalosa decisió politicojudicial elimina drets i llibertats fonamentals i confirma que l’Estat espanyol és irreformable; per tant, és inútil buscar-hi cap encaix. Per dignitat i higiene democràtica, cal que tota l’esquerra independentista catalana assumeixi que l’única estratègia vàlida en aquests moments és aquella que ens porti a trencar-hi i sortir-ne al més aviat possible.
Per tot plegat, la CUP expressa la seva solidaritat amb l’esquerra independentista basca i es compromet a denunciar públicament les formacions que als Països Catalans emparen la persecució de les idees i criminalitzen la defensa del dret a l’autodeterminació dels pobles.

Tuan Nguyen …while dodging fake bullets in the dark, art exhibit opening
Opening Reception 8p.m. - Artist Talk: 6:30 p.m.
Tuan Andrew Nguyen continues his interrogation of the
public’s fascination, celebration, and (re)production
of violence in …while dodging fake bullets in the
dark, the artist’s first public solo exhibition. In
the past few years, Nguyen’s preoccupation with
violence has led him to create a series of highly
volatile performances, videos, and installations
in which violence is both the metaphor and the medium.
In reconfiguring the poetics of a boxing match, a
recent film about the Vietnam War, or ‘yo mama’ jokes, the artist discloses the brutality rooted in the complex exchanges between fighting bodies (whether singular, multiple, physical, psychic, or imagined) and the active/complicit audience who lays witness to the conflict.

We Are Everywhere: The Irresistible Rise of Global Anti-capitalism
We Are Everywhere: The Irresistible Rise of Global Anti-capitalism
SATURDAY MAY 22
Noon - 2:00 PM
Resource Center for Nonviolence
515 Broadway (at Ocean)
www.rcnv.org
We Are Everywhere was described by Canadian writer Naomi Klein as "...the first book to truly capture and embody the exuberant creativity and radical intellect of the protest movements."
Jennifer Whitney and Andrew Stern, two of the books producers on a national tour, will be joined in Santa Cruz by David Martinez and Jo Wildings to present a multimedia performance with:
* hard-hitting images from the streets of Baghdad
* A video of hopeful resistance movements around the world
* An exhibition of beautiful photos and illustrative quotations from their book
* a discussion of the current situation in Iraq and the connections between the anti-war movements and the global
anticapitalist / global justice movements.
Jo Wildings and David Martinez just returned from Fallujah, Iraq, where they worked with injured civilians, were fired on by US Marines and captured (and released) by Iraqi resistance.
David is a journalist and filmmaker who sent dispatches to Bay Guardian and Democracy Now
vitw.us/weblog/archives/cat_david_martinez.html
Jo is a British human Rights worker and writer whose writings from Falujah were widely published: wilfirejo.blogspot.com
Andrew Stern is an activist and documentary photographer who has been involved in the anticapitalist movement in various capacities since a friend dragged him off to his first anarchist gathering some years ago. He can be found working on various photography projects in different parts of the world, including helping to organize a caravan of Indymedia activists to travel throughout South America soon after the economic collapse and popular uprising in Argentina. He is equally comfortable on the front lines of actions with camera in hand or not, and many times will leave his camera at home to play with creative forms of direct action in the streets. Like other members of the collective, the fusion of art and politics is a primary goal in anything he does, along with collecting and sharing stories that are not normally told. His work has been shown in galleries throughout the world and can be found on various Indymedia web sites as well as in the many different publications he works with.
Jennifer Whitney is currently engaged in several balancing acts - reconciling her desire to bring thousands of people together in the streets for inspiring mass actions with her commitment to longer-term struggles of the local and everyday variety; merging her creativity and imagination through writing, dance, and music with her more technical and less sexy skills; and fulfilling her passion for travel, languages, cross-cultural skill-sharing and adventure, as well as her love of gardening, community-building, and other things requiring deep roots. She is a health care worker, and organizes clinics and street medic teams for direct actions. When she's at home in the Pacific Northwest, she can be found working with the Black Cross Health Collective in Portland, or drumming with the Infernal Noise Brigade. She derives much inspiration from Latin America, where rebellion has penetrated many corners of society and erupts into the streets with increasing frequency, and she hopes to continue disseminating those stories of people shaping history.

Now in its fourth year, MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE is an annual
touring exhibition of artist books, zines, and independent
literature. It explores the long held tradition of bookmobiles as movable
libraries. Traveling by way of a vintage 1959 Airstream Trailer, the
BOOKMOBILE visits a variety of venues in Canada and the US including community
centers, schools, libraries, festivals and artist-run spaces. A group of
coordinators traveling with the exhibition facilitate workshops, artist talks,
and educational forums. The annual traveling collection of approximately 300
book works range from handmade and one-of-a-kind to photocopied and small press
publications.
Along with showing the collection, the BOOKMOBILE will teach bookbinding and
zine making workshops and give talks about the history and functioning of
the BOOKMOBILE.
The BOOKMOBILE collective consists of a fluctuating group of dedicated
volunteers, coordinators, jury organizers, and tour guides. Although the
project is based primarily in Montreal, QC, and Philadelphia, PA, collective
members reside in various cities throughout North America.
